Workshop “Ricucire il Cielo/Zacelitev neba” (Project PV)
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Workshop dedicated to young people from 10 years old, on the topics of conflict, freedom, and fear of the other. Through imagination and empathy exercises, Ukrainian artist Daria Pugachova will guide the participants on a listening and creativity journey aimed at rediscovering the value of dialogue and human connection. At a time when conflict seems to be reasserting itself as the dominant language, the workshop aims to be an invitation to build—even if just for a moment—an invisible network of sharing, capable of dissolving boundaries.
Participation is free of charge.

Presentation of the Book PODIPO "When Poetry Takes Shape" (Project PODIPO)
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The volume is the result of the European project Interreg VI-A Italy–Slovenia 2021–2027, conceived and carried out by the Slovenian partner Zavod Otok and the Italian association Stazioni_Postaje of Topolò. At the heart of the project is poetry: texts by authors from Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia were translated into the dialects spoken daily by residents of nursing homes on both sides of the border. These same poems served as scripts for short films created by high school students from the cross-border region. The book, designed by Damjana Sušnik, brings together poetry, video content, audio interpretations, and photographs from this unique creative process, which symbolically united generations and cultures. During the event, speakers will include Lorena Pavlič, from Zavod Otok and project coordinator, and Antonella Bukovaz, who led the workshops for Stazioni_Postaje. The presentation will be enriched by performances from two extraordinary singers: Nika Solce, from Slovenia, and Elsa Martin, from Friuli, who will set to music the verses of Kosovel, Pasolini, Cappello, and other poets from the region.
You are warmly invited!
